Unless you need to manipulate behaviors, there is no need. However, once you
wade in on that, you are essentially bound to do so.

Rather copy and paste to re-order the cards, have you tried setting the
number of the card instead? This will retain the original card ID for
continued navigation by ID.

Thanks for your response.
So far, indeed, I've reshuffled the cards by setting the number and never
had a problem. This strange situation arose when I wrote a script to move a
larger number of cards to the end of the stack and then tried to reconnect
the moved cards by their new ids to a button
Hi from Beautiful Brittany,
After more than 15 years with Hypercard and more than 10
with LiveCode, I have NEVER used the reference Card ID.
If I want to sort my cards (in dozens and dozens) of my data
stacks, I have a field in each card which is an ID which I use
to control card positioning my
I can only suggest the obvious...
- Double-check the id against the inspector using the message box: put the
id of this cd, put there is a cd id [] etc
- Re-launch LC in case of digital indigestion
- Revert to backup and move the cards using number rather than cut/paste
- Worst case
The Inspector does not show the ID of cards by default, it only pretends to do
it, by using card id as default name. If you change the name, you can
see the real id appear on top of the inspector window. This is done in the
IDE with a script and might possibly be confused in your case
Thanks to all kind souls who responded. Björnke's explanation helped a lot
and, indeed, I assumed the displayed name was actually the ID since so far
it never failed me.
Again, thanks a lot.
Best,
Fritz
